What do you think Jonathan Kozol's view of standards would be?
We think that Kozol would prefer a student-centered lesson. The students Kozol encountered weren't eager to learn and if the lesson was to be standard based, it wouldn't grabbing their attention.
What would be his view of standardized testing?
Kozol would not use standardized testing because it generalizes teaching and does not cater to individuals. State testing classifies students into groups and treats them purely as statstics. Student-centered teaching would rather use standardized testing as a means to enhance individual learning.
